Well there could have been no worst card for the turn. Straights and flush are there.
Which line is best? cban draw to quads / full house? Or bet and committ myself against this midstack. I chos to bet and call a push due to my outs.

[ledders07]

i think u were correct to call raise on turn, u have plenty of outs to full house/quads and u will get paid if one of em hits.
the raise by UTG on turn is small and isnt enough to push you off.

[BetYourLife]

Yes that is true. I wanted to commit him and before my raise I was sure he woul push. But the question is: bet turn or check behind?

[ledders07]

u have to bet i think to protect ur hand

[BetYourLife]

But if I think he has the flush than protection is not the key. Than I'm the drawing hand and need improvement. cb would be best than. But I didn't want to call a river push if I checked behind, therefore I bet here to make it more easy for me. Right decision? Hope you understand me. He called the minbet and than my raise. So he can have a lower set or the flush / straightdraw. K is no likely holding for him.

[ledders07]

if u think he has flush then of course u check behind for free draw to full house. if u face a river push, fold if u dont fill up. betting turn doesnt make it any easier if guy raises u on turn or calls you imo.

At this level i see guys minbet there draws into PFR's all the time, I usually charge them full price wither i hit my hand or not. I think its better to check and call river here, because he basicly told us he has a draw.

I make a potsize reraise on flop. The way it`s played I check the turn, and if I don`t fill up I call a reasonable (up to 3/4 potsize) river bet. If he checks the river I obv bet.

[Waingro]

Well I think your line is reasonable, but remember this: minbet + call raise = draw 80%.

I´d raise more on the flop, to $5 and check behind on the turn
